Sion Adventure Park at Domaine des iles
Tree climbing, zip lines, and nature by the water: the Adventure Park of Sion, at the Domaine des Îles, offers a sporty and fun outing for families, from spring to autumn.
Why We Love This Idea
At Domaine des Îles, just steps away from Sion, the Adventure Park offers tree courses suitable for both children and teenagers. The place is beautiful, with a body of water, beach, and large green spaces. You can breathe, move, and laugh here. For a family, it’s the ideal combo: a real challenge for little climbers, a relaxing setting for parents, and a thousand possibilities around to extend the day.
What Your Children Will Discover
Children move from platform to platform, test their balance, glide on zip lines, and learn to manage their safety with a continuous connection. The younger ones have courses close to the ground, playful and colorful. The older ones climb higher, with nets, monkey bridges, and longer zip lines. At each stage, confidence and autonomy grow. It’s sensory (wood, ropes, wind in the leaves), physical (coordination, motor skills), and very rewarding.
Before You Go
- Recommended age: from 4 years old for the children's courses. Higher courses are suitable for pre-teens and teenagers; a height or arm span criterion may apply depending on the lines.
- Duration: plan for 2 to 3 hours to equip, follow the briefing, and go through several lines. With a snack break, you can easily reach half a day.
- Type of activity: sporty, outdoors, with a real educational aspect (autonomy, concentration, risk management, sibling support).
- Booking and prices: it’s a paid activity, with prices by age group. Booking is highly recommended on weekends, public holidays, and during the summer.
- Accessibility for strollers and transport: the paths of Domaine des Îles are stroller-friendly. The park is accessible by bus from Sion train station, followed by a short walk. Large parking available on site.
- Equipment: closed shoes are mandatory. Bring sportswear, tied hair, a water bottle, sunscreen, and a cap in summer. Small bike gloves are useful but often available on site.
- Safety: mandatory briefing and continuous belay system. Helmet and harness provided. Parents can accompany from the ground; to climb, they must be equipped.
- Season: ideal from spring to autumn. Open depending on the weather; in case of heavy rain, strong winds, or storms, the park may temporarily close.
Parents' Tips
- Arrive early in the morning to avoid waiting at the courses.
- Bring a picnic: lawns, tables, and water edges invite you to take a break.
- Set a duration and a meeting point if you have different ages.
- Keep a sweater in the bag: the shade of the trees stays cool, even in summer.
- Combine with the beach, playground, or a walk around the lake for a full day.
